Very nice indeed! Well done, especially when you consider what the majority of the surviving halfpence from that era look like!

When doing "How Far Back Can We Do?", I realised I didn't have any 1833-dated UK coins. So when I saw this 1833 Maundy 4d on ebay I bought it!

A couple of GB pickups from a recent auction. First is this 1792 threepence, the only year in which the Italic digit was used, known as "wire" money in the UK. This fills one of the last remaining gaps in my threepence collection from 1670 to 1800. (The only remaining gap is the 1765, but that is mega scarce.)  Then this 1674 Farthing. It has quite a bit of corrosion, but also a lot more detail than my previous example:

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
This silver crown from my British Regency Period collection is the six-shilling token issued by the Bank of Ireland as part of the "official necessity" series that continued until the Crown began minting regal coinage again in 1816. Hoping to upgrade to First Class someday...
